ELMER GRAY IBILL NE'USCHWANGER, OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS.

GAS-HEAT RETAINER AND FLAME CLEANSER.

Application filed December 27, 1820. Serial No. 433,541.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Emma GRAYBILL NEUSCHWANGER, a, citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Wyandotte, State of Kansas, have 1 invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Heat Retainers and Flame Cleansers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enal le others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to gas heat retainers and flame cleansers, for gas stoves.

My invention comprises certain improvements torretaining the heat, generated by gas stoves and for making possible a cleaner flame, all of which will be fully hereinafter set forth and explained.

My invention consists of a cylindrical shaped device composed entirely of a non-' heat conducting substance which rests firmly on the gas burner. i

The cylindrical shape of the device provides against any escape of heat to the side, and causes the heat to flow directly upward.

The cylindrical shape of" the device also makes possible a firm and tight position for it on the gas stoveburner. V

In describing the invention in detail, reference is had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in which Figure 1 is a top plan view; Figure 2 is a bottom plan view; and Figure 3 is a section on line 91O of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings by reterence numerals, denotes the perforated plate in the partially closed end of the cylindrical device. 5 denotes the perforations contained Specification of Letters Patent.

in 4:; 6 indicates one of the reenfcn-ceinent bars which has the shape of an oblique triangular pyramid and so situated that one triangular side rests on the inside peripheral portion of the partially closed end and the base of the oblique triangular pyramidal bar rests against the cylindrical wall at that point.

What I claim as my invention is 1. In a gas retainer and flame ceanser for gas stoves composed of asbestos through-- out of varying density, of: a hollow cylindrical form having one end open, the other end partially closed, the partially closed end having numerous cylindrical apertures.

2. In a gas heat retainer and flame cleanser for gas stoves composed of asbestos throughout of varying density, of a hollow cylindrlcal term havlng one end open. the

other end, partially closed, the wall of the cylinder being of uniform thickness and the closed end ofu'nilt'orm thickness.

3. In a gas heat retainer and flame cleanser for gas stoves composed of asbestos throughout of varying density, of a hollow cylindrical form having one end open, the

other end partially closed, and having re enforcement bars which are the shape of an oblique triangular pyramid and so situated that one triangular side rests on the inside peripheral portion of the partially closed end and the base of the oblique tri angular pyramid bar rests against the cylindrical wall at that point.

In testimony whereof, I ailiX my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
